error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status when installing psycopg2

Question

i need to install psycopg2 for openerp installation process, but i always found that error. i\'ve already used pip and easy_inst

Answer 1

On a fresh ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS on an EC2 instance, I was able to install psycopg2 after instaling the following packages:

sudo apt-get install gcc
sudo apt-get install postgres-xc-server-dev
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
sudo apt-get install postgresql-client-common
sudo apt-get install postgresql-common

And on a fresh AMI linux (CentOS) instance:

sudo yum install postgresql-devel
sudo yum install gcc*

Hope it helps,
